My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a Canadian-American animated
fantasy television series based on Hasbro's My Little Pony line of
toys and animated works and is often referred to by collectors as the
fourth generation (also referred to as “G4†) of the franchise. The
series premiered on October 10, 2010, on The Hub (which was renamed as
Discovery Family on October 13, 2014), and concluded on October 12,
2019. Hasbro selected animator Lauren Faust as the creative director
and executive producer for the show. Faust sought to challenge the
established nature of the existing My Little Pony line, creating more
in-depth characters and adventurous settings; she left the series
during season 2, to be replaced by Meghan McCarthy as showrunner for
the remainder of the series.The show follows a studious
anthropomorphic unicorn (later an alicorn) pony named Twilight Sparkle
as her mentor, Princess Celestia, guides her to learn about friendship
in the town of Ponyville. Twilight and her dragon assistant Spike
become close friends with five other ponies: Applejack, Rarity,
Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. Each of the ponies represent
a different facet of friendship, and Twilight discovers herself to be
a key part of the magical artifacts known as the "Elements of
Harmony". The ponies travel on adventures and help others around
Equestria while working out problems that arise in their own
friendships.
